JERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu says his newly appointed spokesman has apologized for a series
of insulting comments about President Barack Obama and other public
figures.
Netanyahu said in a statement Thursday that Ron
Baratz had asked "to clear the air," and that the two men would meet
after Netanyahu returns from an upcoming trip to the US.
Netanyahu announced the appointment Wednesday.
Facebook posts then emerged in which Baratz suggested that Obama is
anti-Semitic and that US secretary of state John Kerry should be a
stand-up comic.
Netanyahu said the posts do not reflect his personal opinions.
